Abstract: A locking wedge system for securing a stator coil in a slot of a stator core includes a slot layer positioned on the stator coil to inhibit movement of the stator coil within the slot, an outer wedge including a first tapered surface, an inner locking wedge positioned on the slot layer, the inner locking wedge including a second tapered face that interfaces with the first tapered face, a locking member configured to lock the inner locking wedge to the stator core, and an interlocking mechanism to couple the outer wedge to the inner locking wedge.

Abstract: A method for repairing a stator core of a generator is presented. The stator core includes laminations grouped into packs. A ventilation spacer is disposed between adjacent packs. Laminations are separated from each other by insulation layers. The ventilation spacer is removed between adjacent packs having a damaged insulation layer between the laminations to locally loosen the laminations in the adjacent packs which allows the damaged insulation layer between the laminations to be repaired. A new ventilation spacer is reinstalled between the adjacent packs where the ventilation spacer being removed to retighten the laminations in the adjacent packs after completion of the repair. The new ventilation spacer is adhesively secured between the adjacent packs.

Abstract: A false tooth assembly for a generator stator core is presented. The false tooth assembly has a tapered shape including multiple tapered false tooth pieces. The multiple tapered false tooth pieces are installed into a damaged area in a tooth of a lamination of the stator core such that a wide end of the false tooth assembly is disposed into a wide opening of the damaged area and a narrow end of the false tooth assembly is flushed with a narrow opening of the damaged area at a tip of the tooth. The tapered shape of the false tooth assembly enables the false tooth assembly to fill the entire damaged area and to lock the false tooth assembly into the damaged area. The false tooth assembly can be used to repair stator core in any region of the stator core including step iron region without being dislodged during generator operation.

Abstract: A computing system comprises one or more core processors coupled to a communication network among the cores via a switch in each core and switching circuitry to forward data among cores and switches. Features include a programmable classification processor for directing packets, techniques for managing virtual functions on an IO accelerator card, packet scheduling techniques, multi-processor communication using shared FIFOs, programmable duty cycle adjustment and delay adjustment circuits, a new class of instructions that use a ready bit, and cache coherence and memory ordering techniques.

Abstract: A method for restoring a separation between laminations of a stator core of a generator is presented. The laminations are separated from each other by an insulation layer disposed between the laminations. Wicking resin is applied to an area where the laminations are in contact with each other. Etching using an etching solution is applied to the area where the laminations are in contact with each other until a separation between the laminations is restored. The wicking resin seals the insulation layer to prevent the etching solution from penetrating into the insulation layer and causing a detrimental effect on the insulation layer.

Abstract: A computing system comprises one or more cores. Each core comprises a processor. In some implementations, each processor is coupled to a communication network among the cores. In some implementations, a switch in each core includes switching circuitry to forward data received over data paths from other cores to the processor and to switches of other cores, and to forward data received from the processor to switches of other cores.
